INNOVATION FROM SILICON VALLEY TO COMIC CON

Comic Con Logo
Yesterday, The Poppins visited Silicon Valley. It was an important day for all the family because Susana Poppins has been invited to participate in the opening of the annual convention about apps.

It was an incredible experience and all The Poppins enjoyed every minute of that incredible speech. Before assisting to the convention, the family had been reviewing some English grammar. They have been working Present Perfect and its clues Already, Just, Yet and Ever during all the week.

The trip is arriving to the end and now is the moment to start to work with complex exercises, mixing tenses and trying to learn some things of an upper level. The family practised the difference between Past Simple and Present Perfect.


Next Monday, The Poppins are going to San Diego to visit Miramar and to prepare its assistance in the Comic Con next July, 21-24. The Grandma is a great fan of comics and TV Series and she wants to assist to this future convention.

Finally, in the same city, The Poppins are going to visit Ulisses, an old friend, the male orca which lives in SeaWorld and lived in Barcelona before arriving to California. Ulisses (Ulysses) was captured on November 7, 1980 at Reydarfjördur, Iceland, when he was approximately 3 years old and moved to Barcelona where he and Snowflake were the most loved members of the local zoo. After staying in San Diego, Ulisses has had three children: Moanà, Amaya and Kalia.


Comics are a gateway drug to literacy.
